Grain-Free: Some dogs are not able to digest foods containing grains. Many of the grain-free foods we sell at K9 Cuisine consist of human-grade meat, poultry, fruits, and vegetables. As the name implies, grain-free food does not contain wheat, corn, or other grains that certain dogs may not be able to tolerate.
EVO Dog Small Bites - The Ancestral Diet Meets Modern Nutrition Small Bites - Dog Small Bites has the same meat-based ingredients as our Large Bites formula, but in smaller kibble sizes for smaller dogs. EVO dog food provides all the key nutrition received from a raw food diet with the benefits of modern research.
EVO Dog Small Bites is Grain-Free, Human Grade Dog Food
Although EVO Dog food provides 100% of the total nutritional needs of your dog, you still need to pay proper attention to these important factors to ensure optimum health:
My pomeranian deals with occasional colitis, so I've tried to find her a high quality food that doesn't contain any unnecessary grains for a dog's diet. Although she still seems to have these episodes, she loves the food and I will continue to use this brand.

My american bulldog has been on this for 2 months now. Unfortunately, he has loose really smelly stools, some diarhea, and lots of gas on it. I will have to try something else which is not good since I did so much research thinking Orijen was the best food. It seems like it is kinda luck of the draw with these foods. His skin is really soft, he has lots of energy, and his nails grow really fast though.

Shadow loves his Orijen puppy food. He gives it 5 barks. I noticed he has more energy and his fur is thicker and shinier.
3. Geoffrey on 9/16/2009, said:
Unfortunately, my dog (7-month lab puppy) never got used to this product. I stuck with it for about 1 month, but he continued to have very loose stool. I switched him to Wellness Super5Mix, and his stool was quickly back to normal.

ORIJEN Puppy Food - Biologically Appropriate for All Breeds and Sizes
By nature, puppies are facultative carnivores - they thrive on a varied diet of meats with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses, and are biologically adapted to process proteins as an energy source.
High in protein and low in carbohydrate, ORIJEN PUPPY's grain-free formula replicates the same rich and diverse balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that puppies and young dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting.
ORIJEN PUPPY has a Metabolizable Energy (ME) of 4200 kcal/kg or 480 kcal per 250ml cup (120g). Calories are distributed to promote peak physical conditioning with 40% from protein, 20% from fruit & vegetables and 40% from fat.
Biologically Appropriate ORIJEN PUPPY naturally nourishes puppies of all breeds and sizes. This high-protein, low-carbohydrate puppy food mirrors the original canine diet and naturally satiates appetite - so expect to feed less than you would of conventional pet foods.
As each puppy is different, feeding requirements will vary with size, environment, age and activity. Feed twice daily and always keep fresh, clean water available.

My dog's pick in a 12 food taste test! Out of all the foods he sampled, he ate this one with the most enthusiasm and this was the first he finished.
Only wish is that this food came in a small bites size! He did struggle a bit with the large size of the kibbles (although that didn't keep him from eating it).
5. Rachel on 7/6/2009, said:
Inspite of the fact that I fed it to my Pekes gradually, Ihad to wash butts once or twice daily and scrub out poop from my kennel. Every time Iwent out there was poop all over the place.Ieven had to give one dog Kaopectate because her's got so bad. Iquit using it and they got o.k. Maybe Igot a bad bag. Idon't know, but am very dissappointed.

This is the best dog food that I have ever fed to my 2 Rotties and 1 Lab. I feed mostly raw, fresh and this is my supporting, quick component to their diet.
My o lder (10 1/2 yr) rottie has never had so much energy - you hit the mark with this one! I also feed the Puppy version of Horizon - slightly higher protein - a great addition to our program. All coats are fantastic. Thanks!

The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because one of my dogs doesn't like it. He likes Origin Adult but for some reason doesn't like the Legacy Adult which in some cases seems better to me.

ORIJEN 6 Fresh Fish with Sea Vegetables - Biologically Appropriate for All Breeds
Surrounded by Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans and home to vast freshwater rivers and lakes, Canada’s marine harvest is perfectly suited to the ORIJEN nutritional philosophy of high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets made with maximum inclusions of fresh regional ingredients. High-protein, low-carbohydrate and grain-free ORIJEN 6 FISH replicates the same rich balance of meats, fruits, vegetables and grasses that dogs would encounter in a wilderness setting, but with single-source protein from fish and single-source carbohydrate from potato.
ORIJEN 6 FISH for DOGS has a Metabolizable Energy (ME) of 4020 kcal/kg or 460 kcal per 250ml cup (115g). Calories are distributed to promote peak physical conditioning with 45% from protein, 25% from fruit & vegetables and 30% from fat.
Before Grain is a return to your dog’s ancestral diet while recognizing it’s modern day urban lifestyle. It contains meat protein sources, healthy fruits, and vegetables - no grains, fillers, by products, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Complete with a 32% baseline that is a practical and balanced percentage for the everyday diet that is more optimally processed by sensitive internal organs such as the kidneys. Contains about 38% meat after cooking removes most of the water content.
How much food your dog eats each day is dependent upon size, level of activity, stage of reproduction, and environment. When feeding in measured amounts, feed according to the weight of your dog.
I put my 4 year old boxer on this food after she gained weight on another brand ( it was very high protein and high fat). This dog runs with me approximately 25 miles per week, so she needs quality nutrition. The Before Grain meets her nutritional needs while allowing her to maintain a more healthy weight. And best of all- she loves it!

I switched my 4 year old female boxer from EVO when she started putting on too much weight from the high protein/fat content. The Before Grain gives her the same high quality nutrition with a slightly lower fat content. She's dropped 5 lbs and is now her normal healthy weight. This has made our daily 4 mile runs much more enjoyable for her. She loves both the salmon and buffalo flavors.

This gets a 1 rating from my dogs. They wouldn't touch it. I took the whole bag to our local shelter. This food was HIGHLY recommended to me by other users so it isn't the food. For some reason though it didn't appeal to even one of my dogs.

Amount of food your dog requires will depend on activity, age, environment, and breed. Feed at room temperature and refrigerate unused portion. Always provide access to clean fresh water. ADULT: Feed 3/4 to 1 1/4 cans per 15 lbs. of body weight per day. PUPPY: Feed up to twice the adult amount to puppies. GESTATION & LACTATION: Feed up to three times the normal adult amount.
Just switched from orijen to this and my shiba (very picky) likes it and so far has no allergic reactions to it.

EVO Dog Reduced Fat - The Ancestral Diet Meets Modern Nutrition
Reduced Fat - The EVO line of pet foods have been specially designed to provide all the key nutritional benefits received from the feeding of raw food diets but with the benefits of 21st Century nutritional research. EVO Reduced Fat Dry Dog Food contains 30% less fat than regular EVO Dog Food but with 20% MORE protein. Recent studies have shown that high protein, low fat diets help to build lean body mass while still achieving weight loss (weight loss occurs until an equilibrium of muscle to fat is reached).
EVO Dog Reduced Fat is Grain-Free, Human Grade Dog Food
Although EVO Dog food provides 100% of the total nutritional needs of your dog, you still need to pay proper attention to these important factors to ensure optimum health:
Our Basset has some kind of food allergy we are trying to narrow down. Certain foods upset her bodies balance and cause excess ear drainage & build up. We've tried Science Diet ZD, Wellness Core Reduced Fat & this one. So far this is the only one that seems to be a little more agreeable with her. It would have been rated 5 stars, but it causes her & our other Basset slight constipation & excessive gas.

I was excited to feed this to my dogs, as I researched and found it to be a top-notch dog food. Unfortunately, this didn't bode well with my two lhasa apso's. Apparently, they are allergic to it, resulting in non stop itching. Plus, their stool was very soft (creamy texture). I switched their food to Wellness Simple Solutions, and the itching stopped. Their stools are also solid . I'm not saying this is a horrible dog food, as you can see, many people are happy with it. I'm saying that this didn't do too well with my dogs.

Excellent quality. Both my dogs gobbled it up. This product was recently rated the low glycemic award for the best dog food. Measure by weight to be sure it's euqivalent to measure of previous food or you will notice blood sugar is up in diabetic pet. You actually may get more food per measured cup due to small pellet size. Only con is I'd prefer less or no glucosamine supplement in ingredients.
5. Tara on 10/19/2009, said:
My dog is your typical dog - she will eat anything, anytime, anywhere. We had her on a store brand for a while which she always gobbled up, but after extensive research we switched to this about 6 months ago. She loves it SO much that if we ever try to substitute anything else for it (like if we're bad parents and have forgotten to order another bag before we run out) she will not eat! This is from a dog who historically has no problems eating anything edible so it just speaks volumes on how excellent this food is and the caliber of quality it delivers. We introduced it slowly (mixed with her previous food for about a week) and at first she had a little gas, which is natural, but it's helped immensely with her breath, given her even MORE energy (she is 9 but still acts like a puppy!) and also made her poo more solid which makes it easier to pick up. It's a little pricey, but one 30 lb bag typically lasts us about 2 months (1 feeding/day) and shipping is free! I would recommend in it a heartbeat!
ORIJEN Senior - Biologically Appropriate for All Breeds
As dogs age, their bodies become less efficient at metabolizing the proteins that are vital to maintaining lean muscle mass and overall wellness. In addition to increased dietary protein, senior dogs typically require fewer calories than younger dogs, and fewer carbohydrates help improve insulin resistance.
ORIJEN SENIOR has a Metabolizable Energy (ME) of 3750 kcal/kg or 395 kcal per 250ml cup (105g). Calories are distributed to promote peak physical conditioning with 40% from protein, 25% from fruit & vegetables and 35% from fat.
She ( Onyx, my older German Shepherd ) wouldn't hardly eat it and she kept the runs. I moved her back to the Orijen Puppy Food and she is doing ok now.

my dog had been eating senior Canidae. I switched hopeing that it would help and itching problem, but it didn't. It's a very high quality food and buying from k9cuisine was very, very easy - fast, free shipping - so I probably will return as a customer. Thank you.

I have a small yorkie, this food is too large and hard. She doesnt chew well. She will swallow it whole but doesnt seem like a good thing to do. Otherwise she likes flavor.

Their senior formula has changed! My bag ordered 5/09 shows a different formula on the bag. 40% protein, 15% min. fat less kcals than before, 20% carbohydrates now. It smells very fishy (more fish near the top of the ingredient list now) and my dogs' poops are smelly and dark; my dogs are having gas since starting this bag. I have fed Orijen Senior for over 1 year, but we are leaving. I emailed the company to ask about the formula change, and other than an automated reply, nothing. We're leaving Orijen.

I wanted to switch my dogs to a better food. They love the taste of this one.
It may not have enough fiber for one of my dogs-she was on prescription diet food. She loves this food but has gained a few pounds. I will be trying this for a while and see how she does.

My old dog loves this food...She had gotten to where she wouldn't eat half the time; just turned her nose up and walked away, but whenever this is in her bowl she chows down as if to say, "Finally, something decent to eat. Thanks, Mom!

I have been feeding my 14 month old Pyrenees a blend of Fromm Surf & Turf supplemented with fresh organic ground beef or chicken since they were 3 months old. I was very concerned about maintaining a slow steady growth rate in my pups and these feeds have worked beautifully. I have recently added Viva La Venison to their diet in conjunction with the Surf & Turf and organic fresh meats. They love this and are adapting well. Great coats, no allergies, no bloat or stomach problems and they are healthy, satisfied and continuing on their controlled steady growth.

I switched Abigail from Timberwolf Organics to the Addiction venison formula and the transition was seamless. No tummy problems at all. She is doing very well and I plan to continue with Addiction foods.
